Well documented is the fact that Kelly Rowland‘s latest project has been quite the roller-coaster. Now set for release next year, the album’s revised deadline has afforded the 29 year old studio time with Urban heavyweights such as The-Dream & Tricky Stewert, Jermaine Dupri, Johnta Austin and Brian Michael Cox.
Now, hitmaker Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins can be added to the list of collaborators on the project.
Full story after the jump…
Writing on Twitter today, Rowland said:
————————————–
Needless to say, this is perhaps the most exciting tidbit to emerge from the production process of the album – at least for yours truly. For the longest, I’ve salivated at the prospect of Darkchild hooking Ms. Kelly up with a solo ‘Lose My Breath’-esque track or something to the effect of Janet’s ‘Feedback’ – two of his most stand-out efforts in recent years.
This incarnation of the album, which I suspect was sneakily re-started from scratch (at least for the US market), is shaping up to be quite the winner. At least on paper, at this point. Roll on 2011.
Randomness: I wonder whose cutting these cheques for these A-list producers all of a sudden (Kelly? The label? Both?). Whatever the case, if there’s any justice in the world, it will pay-off.
The UK (Dance/Pop/Urban) version of the album – featuring production from the likes of David Guetta, Rico Love, Jim Jonsin, and Andre Merritt, is still slated for release on November 29th.

Darkchild’s last big hit was PCD — When I grow up.
Not hating but I’m over the untitled Kelly Rowland project already. Interest is gone….
Good luck to her though lol

WOW haters on the watch for Kelly(I mean u saw this b4 the fans)thats a good look….Keep it up I’m sure she needs the motivations
Rodney only “co produced” Feedback. DMile did it.
Good news! Darkchild is a Hitmaker!
She will put two different albums in months which is very good.
Good strategy!
She needs to hurry ….I see a certain Bee coming…
Wasn’t darkchild workin on Michael Jackson unreleased invincible tracks.
Does anyone still care?
kelly, take your time and do it right. Shut the haters down!
There you go Kelly!!! DarkChild is a hit maker. I love his production. This should do it for you!!! 😀
lol she working with him after beyonce which means she getting beyonce her throw aways
Give it up Kelly…..
Lawd! Let me tell you that Kelly wouldn’t be waisting all this money on the producers if they weren’t in there making hits! I think “I’M THAT CHICK” is just a taste of what we should expect! THATS WHY GROWN WOMAN doesn’t have a video yet. They are scrapping the song like A. Keys did with out it in a love song… Know yo info people…
*put
CORRECTION BUGSY: DARKCHILD LAST BIGGEST HIT IS “TELEPHONE”. YOU GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT. THE MONSTERS ARE EXCITED ABOUT KELLY ROWLAND PROJECT. BRING IT ON!
Is anyone really using Darkchild anymore? Brandy gave him a pink slip, Janet must have scrapped the songs they’ve done together earlier this year and if Bey used him it’s probably filler on the album. I’m sure Dream landed her first single. Kelly is still all over the place. I do hope that her dance album sees some success overseas though.
And the purpose of this post was…..
urgh! They better not be giving her none of cicis number 1s!!!!! (no sarcasm)
I’ve been a DC fan since forever…but I have lost a bit of interest in this album. I think Kelly is doing the right thing by re-doing the US album. She should’ve never released those videos, but in retrospect at least she could see that those tracks were not hot enough. Commander was okay, but she needs a certified banger. I think Kelly is talented, but she hasn’t found her niche yet. She’s working with top producers because she still got some of that DC money in the bank. Lawd knows she didn’t make nothing off those solo projects (no shade, but you know it’s true).
RIHANNA FEAT LADY GAGA!!!!
COULD IT BE TRUE?!!!!!!
HATERS ARE GOING TO KILL THEMSELVESHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHHAHHAHAHAHA
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1649962/20101014/lady_gaga.jhtml
BeYAWNce, Haga, Rhitardna, S****** WATCH OUT!!!!!
The Queen Ms Kelly is coming!!
Commander was the biggest song of 2010! Commander made the biggest impact.
WATCH OUT!
If you don’t have anything NICE to say about Kelly why even THINK about reading the article–let alone reply to it? This mess has gotten really old. (Smelly Flopland, she can’t get a hit, she’s in Bee’ shadow etc.) I mean, come harder!!! Haters, ya’ll don’t have any lives…kids don’t even hate like that–just coming up with invalid reasons to hate on a person is just blatant stupidity. The age bracket has to be 18 and above which means we have grown men and women sitting at a computer with nothing better to do but hate. Go to school and get that GED, or college and get a degree because if you had one, you wouldn’t have time to be just on the computer hating. It’s always the same ones so you know who you are.
How can Kelly be a flop, when she had worldwide #1 WLTO and intriduce Guetta to the US, now everybody has a song with David.
Commander is the s*** ! top ten hit in the UK and still sitting at # 12 on the dance chart after 20 weeks. It was never releaseed in t he US but yet it was the #1 most requested song on Z100 and countless othere radio station.
ummmmmmmm where is the flop??????
I feel bad because she is looking high and low for a hit, I hope that she is able to find one….

i think the reason why kelly rolland hasn’t achieved great solo success (as one would anticipate being a member of destiny’s child) is the fact that she has become lost in a sea of other rnb pop female artist. the market has become so saturated since the release of her debut album. i feel that she should have stayed with the sound she was going with on her debut album which was her most successl and enjoyable imo. if it aint broke why fix it.
she should have stuck to her her own niche sound, but it seems like she is so desperate for a hit that she is just giving the people what she thinks will sell (e.g pop dance album for u.k and urban pop for u.s market) than carving out a niche market and primary fan base that she as an artist can sell to (before trying to reach the masses). trying to be a jack of all trades leaves you a master of none nana always says.
I aint mad at her. Kelly still has my support. Do you Kelly!!!
All these delays makes the anticipation dead on arrival.
IM SICK OF THIS S***. B**** RELEASE THE DAMN CD. ITS GONNA FLOP OR DO OK ANYTIME U RELEASE…. COME ON. DAMN!!!!
Well at least Kelly finally remembered that she’s black. Still not gonna buy the s*** though.
WHY DOES SHE LOOK LIKE AN AFRICAN TRANGENDERED VERSION OF SPOCK? I LOVE YOU KELLY…BUT NO…NOT THIS TIME BOO…NO…*FAN TAKES DEEP BREATH AND SIGHS*. SMDHX2
Album flopped before it was released. Good try though, Kelly
